🌟 Brave dream of VR gaming. Grappling hooks, wacky humor, spatial stunts, motion sickness countermeasures, Dieselpunk adventure, space acrobatics, and out-of-the-box puzzles. Yupitergrad has it ALL.🌟
Players control a Soviet cosmonaut equipped with a pair of grappling hooks and thrusters. Shooting the suction cup-like grappling hooks at designated blue surfaces allows players to pull themselves through the environment, building up momentum for tight, acrobatic swings. Reviewers consistently praise the responsiveness and control of this system, likening the experience to being Spider-Man. Mastering the interplay between grappling and thrusting is essential for navigating the game's challenges effectively.
In addition to the satisfying traversal, the game presents players with a variety of demanding platforming sequences and environmental puzzles. Levels task the player with navigating through obstacles and traps, requiring precise timing and momentum control to overcome. While not overly complex, these puzzles strike a balance between engagement and frustration, with failures often feeling like the player's own mistake.
The game's campaign takes players through a visually striking, dieselpunk-inspired Soviet space station, with each area offering new traversal challenges. Beyond the story mode, the game includes a time-attack mode that provides a more competitive, speed-running focused experience, allowing players to push their skills to the limit and compete for the fastest times. The recently added "Gymnasion" mode also provides a dedicated training environment for practicing the game's unique movement mechanics.
